Default BBC Horizon: The Secret Life of the Dog

We have an extraordinary relationship with dogs - closer than with any
other animal on the planet. But what makes the bond between us so
special?

Research into dogs is gaining momentum, and scientists are
investigating them like never before. From the latest fossil evidence,
to the sequencing of the canine genome, to cognitive experiments, dogs
are fast turning into the new chimps as a window into understanding
ourselves.

Where does this relationship come from? In Siberia, a unique breeding
experiment reveals the astonishing secret of how dogs evolved from
wolves. Swedish scientists demonstrate how the human/dog bond is
controlled by a powerful hormone also responsible for bonding mothers
to their babies.

Why are dogs so good at reading our emotions? Horizon meets Betsy, the
world's most intelligent dog, and compares her incredible abilities to
those of children. Man's best friend has recently gone one step
further - helping us identify genes responsible for causing human
diseases.
